with out picking a fight, thats not a Tank, its called an ARV (armoured recovery vehical) would you like to go into a tank battle armed with a crane?
any way they are pigs to drive, you notice the guy driving it is fighting with the gear box, you need to double the clutch on them.
However the tanks and arvs have a few quirks on them that the UK ones dont, in the drivers cab (R/side) there are two compressed air bottles, you can turn and start the engine numaticly if you like, and on the left hand side rear of turret floor is a diesel engine heater, yes a little drop fed diesel burner that heats below the tank (and burns the rubber of the road wheel ) but its quite a handy thing to have on ultra cold days
